Hi!
I finally tested everything possible and double/triple checked the
scripts and it came down to the very simple solution:

	vbetool is evil is evil is evil

I already had vbetool savestate disabled but there was still a call to
vbetool dpms in the scripts.
After removing that too I am back to normal again, i.e. I use s3_bios
option and nothing else to get video back (BTW: no framebuffer console,
plain VGA text). According to /proc/acpi/video/VID/POST_info:
<not supported>
I have to use s3_bios since the BIOS does ot provide an ACPI video post
routine, correct?

For acpi-support scripts double check to have
	SAVE_VBE_STATE=false
	POST_VIDEO=false
	USE_DPMS=false
in /etc/default/acpi-support (location from Debian acpi-support package).

Just to be very sure I did
	ln -sf /bin/true /usr/sbin/vbetool


So, many thanks for the good ideas an advice!
If I can be of any other help please call - I am willing to test and try
anything suggested (if it does not involve "rm -rf /" :)
